Euromoney holds its first Hackathon

Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC hosted its first external Hackathon on 4th-5th October 2014.

Hosted in London's Smithfield Market, the event brought together the next generation of top talent in development, design, UX, testing, and business analysis, says Euromoney Institutional Investor.

The event provided the opportunity for 20 graduates to design and build a number of digital applications alongside a team of like-minded individuals who share a passion for technology.

The event ran over 36-hours with many of the teams working throughout the night to bring 4 products to life. The event was co-sponsored by Marklogic and Harris-Global. The former provided a team of experts throughout the weekend to assist with the technical build.

Ben Jones, CTO, said: "This was a fantastic event. The energy in the room even after 36 long hours was palpable. I am very impressed with what was produced in such a short time."

4 graduates were offered roles post the roles.
